New followers! Hello. Here's a thread which gives you some idea of the madcap world of our record label and our releases. they're all pretty brilliant (to us at least)! see here for more sounds and sights : x
You know that thing when you really love a band and see them many times and once fly half way round the world to watch them play a bar in St Kilda and then 25yrs later they buy your records?well yes exactly that. What a bloody lovely thing x

As they return from a 26 year studio hiatus, Prolapse speak to Derek Walmsley about the benefits and pitfalls of defying the 90s mainstream, self-sabotage, empathy with the downtrodden and the growing spectre of mortality

I wore mine in Toronto this past weekend and my son was like, "Do you wear a Popty Ping shirt everywhere we go?" (I have 3, so kinda yeah.) And then I told him how one day there will be a Christmas one, and I'll buy that too. (When's that one coming, btw?)

like great radio? (I genuinely do). BBC 4 extra currently has the original 83 version of When the Wind Blows (the radio play version of the Briggs book) on BBC Sounds. starring Peter Sallis & Brenda Bruce it's a world away from the same voice as Wallace / Grommit.

It’s a year since we released @campfiresocial.bsky.social ‘s They Sound The Same Underwater so we’re going to start posting a bit about the lp to remind those of you there’s 25 or so copies left to snap up….

Since we’ve got 1k followers probably seems wise to repost this. We put new bands on 7” vinyl releases. They’re all bloody brilliant and they’ve all gone on to bigger and better things. See this thread to understand / here more x

In more new music news, I reckon Cliffords to be the best thing from Cork since the Frank and Walters (or maybe Fight Like Apes). I really like this, track down their 12" if you can, it'll soon prove a smart financial investment

Whilst Campfire Social and Murder Club both take baby related short breaks, I figured I'd try and and highlight some of the music I've heard this year and really liked, so here's a hoped for thread. No.1 : Cliffords with My Favourite Monster :

Add some Spin Doctors** and you’d genuinely have the worst music in the world.
**substitute Jive Bunny if preferred. A horrific cacophony will occur either way

CMAT, pop’s gobbiest, gaudiest star: ‘Everyone else in music needs a kick up the hole!’
Playing stadiums and causing dance crazes, the Irish singer-songwriter is going supernova – and whether opining on trans rights, body shaming or capitalism, she’s more forthright than ever

I’m not wanting to boast but we’ve sold so many copies of the back catalogue of records after the Murder Club release that there are no longer any boxes of records in my spare bedroom wardrobe….
(Still many boxes under the bed though - buy them, god they’re great)
